The Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) has launched a representative office in New York, marking its first representative offices outside Asia.

The new outfit will be led by Adriana Uson the institution's head of Americas. Uson sits on SIAC's panel of reserved arbitrators. Until June this year, she was an associate at the Singapore office of Norton Rose Fulbright and had previously spent three years as counsel in SIAC's secretariat.
